This book deals with agriculture as practiced in ancient Israel
from the settlement to the destruction of the First Temple. It
describes crops and trees cultivated by the Israelite farmer and
the methods and tools used in cultivation. The information is
gathered from both literary and archaeological sources, with the
Old Testament supplying most of the literary information. The
author attributes several innovations to the biblical peasant:
large-scale terracing, runoff farming (i.e. irrigation),
restoration of soil fertility, and the invention of the beam
oil-press. Out of print for some time, Eisenbrauns is pleased once
again to make this valuable resource available.
